at 5 PM EDT...2100z...satellite imagery indicated that tropical
depression Alpha has weakened to a trough near latitude
29.0 north... longitude 70.0 west or about 385 miles... 620 km...
southwest of Bermuda.

The remnants of the depression are moving toward the north-northeast
near 29 mph...46 km/hr. This general motion should continue for
the next 12 to 24 hours...until the system is absorbed by Hurricane
Wilma.

Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph... 55 km/hr...with higher
gusts...to the east of the trough.
